Blues' Binnington tries to hide puck from Ovechkin's 900th goal

Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin made hockey history Wednesday night, becoming the first NHL player to score 900 career goals. Ovechkin was eventually given that record-setting puck -- once St. Louis Blues goalie Jordan Binnington stopped hiding it in his pants.

In the second period of the Capitals' 6-1 rout, Ovechkin intercepted Binnington's pass to teammate Nathan Walker. The puck eventually found Washington defenseman Jakob Chychrun for a shot from the point that bounced off the end boards. Ovechkin collected the rebound and quickly slid a backhand shot into the Blues' net for his third goal of the season.
